Al. CONCRETE CONTAINMENTS (REINFORCED AND PRESTRESSED)

Systems, Structures, and Components This section addresses the elements of pressurized water reactor (PWR) concrete containment structures. Concrete containment structures are divided into three elements: concrete, steel, and prestressing system.

System Interfaces Functional interfaces include the primary containment heating and ventilation.system (VII.F3),

containment isolation system (V.C). and containment spray system (V.A). Physical interfaces exist with any structure, system, or component that either penetrates the containment wall, such as the main steam system (VIII.B1) and feedwater system (VIII.Dl), or is supported by the containment structure, such as the polar crane (VII.B). The containment structure basemat typically provides support to the nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) components and containment internal structures.

Thus, for any portions of concrete containment that exceed specified temperature limits, further evaluations are warranted. Subsection CC-3400 of ASME Section III, Division 2, specifies the concrete temperature limits for normal operation or any other long-term period. The temperatures shall not exceed 150'F except for local areas, such as around penetrations, which are not allowed to exceed 200'F. If significant equipment loads are supported by concrete at temperatures exceeding 150'F, an evaluation of the ability to withstand the postulated design loads is to be made.

Higher temperatures than given above may be allowed in the concrete if tests and/or calculations are provided to C',

CD evaluate the reduction in strength and

'R CD this reduction is applied to the design 27 allowables.

Evaluation is needed for plants that are located in moderate to severe weathering conditions. (weathering index

>100 day-inch/yr) (NUREG-1557).

Documented evidence confirms that where the existing concrete had air content of 3% to 6%, subsequent inspection did not exhibit degradation related to freeze-thaw. Such inspections should be considered a part of the evaluation.

The weathering index for the continental L £ US is shown in ASTM C33-90, Fig. 1.

Inaccessible Areas:

As described in NUREG-1557, investigations, tests, and petrographic examinations of aggregates performed in accordance with ASTM C295-54 or ASTM C227-50 can demonstrate that those aggregates do not react within reinforced concrete. For potentially reactive aggregates, aggregate reinforced concrete reaction is not significant if the concrete was constructed in accordance with ACI 201.2R.Therefore, if these conditions are satisfied, aging management is not

_necessary.

Inaccessible Areas:

For plants with non-aggressive ground water/soil; i.e., pH > 5.5, chlorides < 500 ppm, or sulfates <1500 ppm, as a minimum, consider (1) Examination of the exposed portions of the below grade concrete, when excavated for any reason, and (2) Periodic monitoring of below-grade water chemistry, including consideration of potential seasonal variations.

For plants with aggressive groundwater/soil, and/or where the concrete structural elements have experienced degradation, a plant specific AMP accounting for the extent of the degradation experienced should be implemented to manage the concrete aging during the period of extended operation.
